"The Bachelorette" returns to ABC on May 23 with "The Bachelor" veteran JoJo Fletcher taking her pick from the top bachelors in the U.S. In the last season of "The Bachelor," Ben Higgins passed on the real estate developer. To celebrate the return of the reality television series about finding your one true love, here's a look back at the most successful "The Bachelor" contestants and how much they are worth today.

Emergency room physician Travis Stork was featured in season eight of “The Bachelor.” Although he picked Sarah Stone to be his fiance, the couple didn’t stay together for long. What did last was Stork’s TV success, as his popularity and onscreen charm on “The Bachelor” earned him a spot on the CBS daytime talk show “The Doctors,” which premiered in 2007.

Since hosting “The Doctors,” Stork has helped the show find success. The CBS show has earned five Emmy nominations for best talk show/informative, while Stork has pulled in two nominations for outstanding talk show host. Stork is also the New York Times best-selling author behind “The Doctor’s Diet,” among other books. Travis Stork’s net worth is estimated at $8 million.

Emily Maynard Net Worth: $5 Million

Emily Maynard first stole hearts as a single mother vying for Brad Womack’s affection in season 15 of “The Bachelor.” She later solidified her status as America’s sweetheart as the star of season eight of “The Bachelorette.”

Emily Maynard was just 19 when she had her daughter, Ricki, following the tragic death of her fiance Ricky Hendricks, race car driver and partial owner of Nascar’s Hendrick Motorsports. The team was valued at $375 million in February 2016, reported Forbes, and Maynard received a considerable amount of Hendricks’ wealth — more than enough to provide a comfortable life to raise their daughter alone.

As the star of “The Bachelorette,” Maynard didn’t find love — but she did receive a fair paycheck. Following the show, she designed a jewelry collection for online boutique Towne & Reese. Today, Maynard’s net worth is estimated at $5 million.

While Maynard didn’t find lasting love on either “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette,” she has since settled down with Tyler Johnson, an automotive management consultant. She is expecting her third child.

Jesse Palmer Net Worth: $4 Million

Jesse Palmer starred in season five of “The Bachelor,” for which he is most remembered for forgetting a girl’s name during the rose ceremony and handing his final pick a one-way ticket to his hometown of New York instead of an engagement ring.

Palmer’s first brushes with fame started before “The Bachelor,” when he was an NFL player. He was a quarterback for the New York Giants from 2001 to 2004, and spent the 2005 season with the San Francisco 49ers before retiring from the league.

Palmer transitioned from playing on the field to being an analyst for college football on ESPN in 2007. In 2015, “Good Morning America” named Palmer a special contributor. As a result of his lucrative endeavors, Jesse Palmer’s net worth is estimated at $4 million.

Jef Holm was the winner of “The Bachelorette” season eight, during which he wooed Emily Maynard and received the final rose. The couple ended the season engaged, but split just months after the season finale aired.

While his onscreen love did not lead to a fairy-tale ending, off-screen Jef Holm has enjoyed plenty of financial success. As an entrepreneur, Holm co-founded People Water, a successful nonprofit that sells bottled water and donates an equal amount of clean water. The charity has thus far donated over 6.4 million gallons of clean, drinkable water.

Jef Holm’s net worth is $3 million.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. is a race car driver who has raced in events from the Indy 500 to the Indy Lights series. Luyendyk Jr. is also the son of successful racer Arie Luyendyk, who has won the Indianapolis 500 twice. Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s net worth is estimated at $2 million.

“For me, my work is my passion,” Luyendyk Jr. told GOBankingRates. “Whether I’m putting in long hours at the shop or we’re working hard to find funding through partnerships, I’m always thankful to be doing something I love. I’ve also surrounded myself with equally ambitious individuals and great partners.”

As a contestant in season eight of “The Bachelorette,” Arie Luyendyk Jr. vied for Emily Maynard’s heart. His time on air, however, proved to be more lucrative:

“I met a representative from the GUNK and Liquid Wrench brands at a trade show,” Luyendyk Jr. said. “His wife was a fan of the show and, ultimately, this familiarity helped attain my primary racing partnership for the TORC racing series.

“Since the show, I’ve also been fortunate to use my voice to benefit charitable causes that are important to me, such as the Children’s Miracle Network. Paying it forward in this way has been extremely rewarding.”
